EXPLANATORY  NOTE 

This  list  is  a revision  of  “Some  Inexpensive  Aids  in 
School  Library  Work”  which  was  compiled  for  the  New 
York  State  Teachers’  Association  in  1911.  In  compiling 
this  list  the  Local  Committee  of  the  Library  Section  of 
the  National  Education  Association  gratefully  acknowl- 
edges help  received  from  Miss  Effie  Power,  of  the  Car- 
negie Library  of  Pittsburgh;  Miss  Mary  Hall,  of  the 
Girls’  High  School  Library,  Brooklyn,  and  the  staff  of 
the  Children’s  Room  of  the  New  York  Public  Library 
The  Committee  hopes  that  the  list  may  prove  helpful 
to  teachers  and  school  librarians.  Care  has  been  taken  to 
choose  material  which  has  proved  its  usefulness  in  both 
school  libraries  and  in  the  children  s rooms  o pu  ic 
libraries.  The  list  does  not  attempt  to  be  exhaustive,  and 
as  far  as  known  only  the  publications  now  in  print  have 
been  included.  For  the  most  part  the  list  has  been 
restricted  to  inexpensive  material,  and  the  more  expen- 
sive books  and  indexes  can  be  found  in  any  public 
library.
